“Wherever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being 'disturbers of the peace' and 'outside agitators.' But they went on with the conviction that they were a 'colony of heaven' and had to obey God rather than man. They were small in number but big in commitment. They were too God-intoxicated to be 'astronomically intimidated.' They brought an end to such ancient evils as infanticide and gladiatorial contest. Things are different now. The contemporary Church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the archsupporter of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the Church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the Church’s silent and often vocal sanction of things as they are.” - from Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham City Jail, 1963
“I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.” - from Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham City Jail, 1963
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” — from Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham City Jail, 1963
New lyrics about a new Eden (in my center post.)
In the winter of our discontent In the ruins of our monuments An ancient light appearing Into every deadly plot we’ve laid Into all our bitterness and hate A kindness ever nearing Over every war we’ve ever waged Over every prophet we have slain A peace past understanding. Out of all our chosen misery Out of all our misplaced loyalties A heaven in the making. Eden’s gates swing open to us now. We’ll turn every weapon to a plow. For every sin a pardon. Every field of wildflowers left to seed. Every forest filling up with green. A kingdom in a garden. 📷 by @nicolaharger

From @theryman Sunday night. Doing @thetokensshow is honestly a highlight of my year, every year. This time around Zach of @thelonebellow joined us and it was really fun to be on a stage with him again for the first time in about thirteen years. Photos by @ebrown_photo
